How can I put my music from my iPod nano onto my computer?
I bought an iPod nano 7th generation and all was well until my pc died. I quickly rebacked it up onto an external hard drive and only got about an eighth of my music left. FOrtuneately, my iPod has got all of my music on there!
I'm using someone elses laptop at the moment, which only has a fraction of my music at the moment, and I wondered if it was possible if I could transfer my music from my iPod onto this new laptop, temporarily.
I figured it would be an everyday thing Apple offered to its customers, but I suppose there might be some poxy copyright laws of something silly like that.
I'm running Windows 7 at the mo.
Do this first:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Then after that is done, you can transfer your other songs from your iPod to your new computer.

I had to do a recovery on my computer. How can I put my music from my ipod's on my computer itunes library without having to do the whole CD thing?
What, no backup. Download Yamipod on your computer?

My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.
Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
Pasted from another thread
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

Any items that are not purchased from the iTunes Store will need to be re imported to the iTunes library manually.

I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync. How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer. The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.
One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. -
How can I put my music from my ipod to my computer with out losing it all
I just got a new computer and I need to transerfer my music from my ipod to my new computer, but when i tried it almost deleted all my music. I'm not a technological person and I dont have anything to back my ipod up on if I lose all my music. Does anybody know how to do it with the new update??
The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
It simply mirrors the selecte content of the computer to which it is synced. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
How do i put my music from my ipod on to my computer??
my computer crashed and i am trying to save my songs and i want to put them on a completly fresh itunes library and i cant seem to figure out how to do this! all i want to do is put my songs from my ipod on to my computer so i can keep them without having to burn 5 million cd's again! and plus most of the cd's i used were my friends and other people's that i cant even get a hold of now! so if you have an answer please share!!!!
This might be a bit late, but I just registered on this board, so bear with me.
There is software that moves songs from an ipod to a computer. It's called Tune Tools and can be ordered at
http://valusoft.com/products/tunetoolsmm.html
With this software, you can back up your ipod, recover lost or corrupted itunes files, and many more. I have this software and it's a godsend.
Let us know if this works for you. -
How can I put my music from my ipod touch on my new Laptop computer????
I just purchased a laptop and I would like to put all my music from my ipod touch in to my new laptop. When I try to sync, I get a message that tells me all my music will be deleted! What can I do?
Thanks,
Matt
Message was edited by: IwasNowiAmYou should move the music from your old computer to the new one then sync. The ipod touch is not a backup device.
You should always have a backup. If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (bad idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:
Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
The ipod touch will sync with one computer at a time. When you sync to a different computer, it will erase the current content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer. -
How can i sync my music from my iPod into a new computer because my old one is dead
I bought the macbook air and want to sync my music from my ipod into itunes. Of course its not letting me because it says if I want to sync it will erase everything. Is there anything I can do so I could keep all my music and still sync? I no longer have access to my old computer because it completely died on me.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases -
Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?
Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

I have a new computer..how can I get my music from my Ipod to my new computer?
I am trying to download Tunes64Setup.exe but my computer is not allowing at the moment and it is taking a very long time. I want to know how I get my music off of my Ipod shuffle onto my new computer?
The music sync is one way - computer tp ipod. the exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
i am trying to transfer the music i have on my ipod to a new computer but i no longer have access to the old computer. Is there anyway that this can be done?
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
